Whoever opens a shop, or il any man
ncr exposes his goods to public sale, viz
tpally engages TO deal with his customers
at 4 market price, because it is upon the
faith and opinion Of such all engage
ment that any one comes within his
shop doors or offers to treat with hin.
This is expected by the buyer, is known
to be expected by the seller, which is
enough to make It part Of the contract
between them, though not a syllable be
said about it. The breach Of this i'm
piled contract constitutes fraud, and the
man who disclaims such engagement
may set what price he pleases on his
propertv.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE BOY.
The Optimistic View Of His Opportunities
To-Day.

(E:om The Shoe AMI leather Reporter, bee. 2S.)
This is Il good age to be born IN: the
infant of to-day whose life is prolonged
to the allotted term will see more wonders
than any Of his predecessors have seen,
and if the world continues to progress
as fast as it has been progressing during
the past seventy years, the opportunities
viii he before him Of i fortunate career.
He viii be in a larger sphere aud under
greater responsibilities. but the more
that is required OF him thc stronger will
be his power OF achievement. Men always
rise to the OCCASION ii any work is to
be accomplished, somebody is S,lrc to
come forward and take it in hand. No
matter how arduous toe undertaking, Il
it is within the scope OF human proves
its completion viii not be suffered to fail.
It may be hindered. thwarted, mlsd!-
rected, but in the end it will be success
full. Rivalry is the powerful motor by
which great enterprises are impe!led, and
the zeal with which men are competing
with others for the foremost places IN
the domain OF industry and OF art makes
the contest for superiority intensely en-
citing. Everybody wants to be IN 1t; to
stay out is to be lost sight OF. And 50
wear by year multitudes OF Gew aspirants
arc entering the lists; the strife for posi-
ton is increasing, and the results OF the
honorable emulation are exceedingly
beneficial.

Taking al in all, the lot OF q boy
thlown entirely upon his own resources
in this city is little less than hopeless.
Even if permitted to live at home, the
boy who is forced to go upon the streets
or into the factories before lie has
strength or education to do good work IS
probably doomed to remain all unskilled
workman all his life. Every year manu-
featuring is carried on upon larger and
larger scale, and the division of labor is
becoming greater and greater. AS re-
suit of this not only does hegulf between
capitalist and labor widen, but there
widens with it q gulf between skilled
labor and unshlled. The boy who goes
into the factory does not learn the busi-
ness, cannot lay up capital. The time
was vixen the boy who went IN at the
bottom could come out at the top. Is
this possible in New York City to-day?

the fact viii soon be known beyond per-
adventure. The national commission is
made up of honest men who are not under
the thumb Of any corporation. 1t is
within their power to prevent undue
hardship by suspending the law in cases
where they NAV think that such action is
needed, but, more important even than
that, they have the privilege of reporting
to Congress the conciusions which they
may reach, and to them the country may
confidently look for some recommends
tions which will be of service in the So
luton OF the problem which it is plain
that the present law was never meant to
deal with honestly. 1t is good sign that
men of BUSINESS are now taking enough
interest in the matter to inquire whether
Congress has been acting for the people
or for the railroads. For ten years few
honest men in the House of Representa-
tiVes sought to pass law governing in
teT-5tate railroads, bat they received no
support or encouragement from the
business interests of the republic. The
indications are that, becoming convinced
that the law was finally to be passed, the
corporations undertook the task of shsp-
ing it TO their own liking.
